Bob Pockrass and His Wife Lori Prefer a Low-Key Life Sometimes Providing Glimpse Of Their Relationship Through Social Media
On December 1, 2019, Bob Pockrass married Lori Perkovich in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family.
The ceremony was not widely publicized and only came to public attention after Bob’s fellow auto racing journalist, Jenna Fryer, live-tweeted it.

Not much is available on Lori Perkovich, but glimpses of her social media and LinkedIn reveal little details about Mrs. Pockrass.
A King’s College and New York University graduate, Lori holds a history and global affairs degree focusing on international relations and gender specialization.
Since then, she has worked as a peacebuilding and gender equality program manager at Independent Global Affairs Consultant, a policy and advocacy advisor at Plan International, and a ChildFund Alliance representative to the United Nations.
Lori’s X bio reads, “Passionate child rights advocate. Opinions my own.”
There, she shares opinions and articles on child and youth engagement, gender equality, women, peace and security, peacebuilding, and humanitarian efforts.
Personal Update: Today is my last day at @ChildFundAll, ending nearly 4 years of service with & for children. Proud of the work of ChildFund members & grateful for the collaborative efforts on #childrights.

Likewise, on her Instagram feed, she posts photos from vacations, concerts, dining experiences, and art exhibitions.
She is also a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights and against race-based police brutality.
Neither Lori’s nor Bob’s social media profiles feature any children, so the couple likely does not have any children, which is understandable given how involved they are in their respective careers.
